His first job outside of the family business was in as an estimator for the Henley Telegraph and Cable Company. His interest in movies began at around this time, frequently visiting the cinema and reading US trade journals.
It was around when Hitchcock joined the film industry. He started off drawing the sets he was a very skilled artist. It was there that he met Alma Reville , though they never really spoke to each other. It was only after the director for Always Tell Your Wife fell ill and Hitchcock was named director to complete the film that he and Reville began to collaborate. Few scenes have so severely shaken public complacency. Among his other honors were: honorary doctorates from the U.
